I strongly suspect nothing is happening because behind the scenes few if any are interested in this job. Top ranked team in the country is in your division and loaded for bear in the future, second ranked team is a rival game you play every year. So right off the bat hard road to win your division, let alone your conference. 9 wins and a good bowl will eventually get you fired. It’s a setup for failure. The next coach will be either padding the resume or his checking account.

Are you from Bulls Gap?

....after talking about 3 other guys. It surprised me a little that he wasn't the first guy mentioned.

Yea only football schools should worry about this new early signing period that winning programs focus attention on.

Tennessee is Vanderbilt Jr now.

Says the poster boy for the stupid fan update. It's the absolute right thing to wait until the end of the season. It won't affect recruiting all that much if we make a solid hire.
